Hello everyone,
so here is my second build ever, a squidward. I finished it this weekend and (surprise), it works !
here is a photo of the final product (with a gutshot) :
and a bit of sound (sorry, those are really crappy takes, I have to work on that) :
It went very well. For the enclosure I tried caustic soda etching for the first time, and it was really fun to do. I used some toilet cleaner for that (with 30% soda), but it was a gel, so it was rather hard to see anything. I'll try something else next time, maybe with a less strong concentration.
no issue at all while soldering the components, but the wiring is definitely my nemesis.
Another point I didn't expect : there is no potentiometer, so I didn't know how to fix the pcb to the enclosure. Luckily, many people helped me here, so I ended up using electrical tape on the back side, and then double sided foam tape.
It works like a charm, I'm really happy with how it ended up.
Can't wait to start my next project !
